How did the actor Clark Gable die?

Question

When, where and describe the situation, please.

Answer 1

Gable's last film was The Misfits (written by Arthur Miller and directed by John Huston), which co-starred Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. The Misfits would prove not only to be Gable's swan song, but it would also mark the final completed performance by Marilyn Monroe. Many critics regard Gable's performance in his final film to be his finest. Gable died in Los Angeles, California in November 1960, the result of a fourth heart attack. He was 59.

There was much speculation about Gable's physically demanding Misfits role (which required yanking on and being dragged by horses) having contributed to his sudden death soon afterward. In a widely reported quote, Kathleen Gable blamed it on stress caused by "the endless waiting... waiting (for Monroe)". Monroe, on the other hand, claimed that she and Kathleen had become close during the filming and would refer to Clark as "Our Man". (Spicer, Clark Gable, McFarland, pp. 300-301). Others have blamed Gable's crash diet before filming began; for years, Gable's head would sometimes shake from the diet pills he would take to strip off pounds before making a film, a practice which may have contributed to his early death. [citation needed] It should be noted that Gable was in poor health when filming began from years of heavy smoking and drinking, and in the previous decade had suffered two seizures which may have been heart attacks.
